Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
63. Plan

Early in the morning, Gala so enthusiastically went to the Rapidash Express office in a uniform that had been ironed neatly. He draped his jacket while putting his briefcase in his chair.

Then Daniar came and handed him a cup containing Caramel Macchiato on the Gala cubicle table. “This make Bap—”

Gala stared at Daniar sharply as she took the cup. Making Daniar's words instantly cut off just like that.

The woman smiled awkwardly. “Eh... make lo his point, sorry.”

Daniar sat down without saying anything more. Similarly, when Gio and Anton enter the room. They stared at Gala with a faint guts.

They were about to bow, but then hesitated and chose to ignore Gala altogether. The atmosphere felt so awkward in the room that he himself felt uncomfortable.

Too quiet. And the guy doesn't like it. He had to do something to break the ice between them.

“Come lunch together,” invite Gala when lunch arrives. “Come on Mr. Hendra, bring your friends. I treat.”

“Siap... Come, Gio, Anton, Daniar,” invite Hendra, and they all obey without arguing.

On foot, they headed to a typical Chinese restaurant not far from there. The residence that was transformed into a restaurant still maintains the design of a large house with many rooms.

None of the walls were torn down so that the dining room seemed more private and suitable to be a place to discuss without having to face many people.

“Just relax with me, do not hesitate,” said Gala sat quietly and did not feel awkward at all.

“I-iya Pak...” Daniar replied.

Then, a restaurant employee came. Gala ordered food first, before they all ordered the same food and drinks as hers. They treated Gala as if she were the leader of this country.

“You guys what the fuck? Why is the menu all the same as mine?” ask Gala who is feeling uncomfortable.

Gio, Anton and Daniar lowered their heads, it was too difficult to make eye contact with the man.

“No pa-pa Sir. Relax, we love this menu.” great-grandson Anton.

“Let's eat,” Gala said as soon as the black pepper cow noodles she ordered had come. But again, all just ate when Gala had eaten the first feed. “Colah. Don't make me bad..”.

“What a bad way, sir. We are one office with the owner, we want our time!” the Daniar chirps eventually broke the silence between them until Gio and Anton put down their chopsticks, not yet eating.

“I'm asking to stop kayak gini attitude. Everyone knows who I am!” gala's orders to the four of them.

“I apologize, Sir..” Hendra also opened his mouth to make a sound. The man recalled the moment a few days ago when Daniar said something unexpected altogether.

The three of them were shocked to hear Daniar. The woman even showed them a photo of Gala, and it was only then that they finally realized who Gala really was.

“We chat ordinary kayak. Or do you guys want me to jeblosin all?” threaten Gala with a serious face.

“Do Not Sir!” they were all in shock and calling out the same word.

“Call me name is also not pa-pa. During this office, you guys are free to hang out with me,” Gala said as she continued to eat her noodles.”Oh yes Daniar. You haven't told me all the same, you can know my identity from where?”

Daniar grin, “From Wikipedia, Sir!”

“How's the story?"

“I will meet a good song, then I search on Google. Meet, and it turns out the song belongs to the band Black Ruby. I'm curious, I opened a Black Ruby profile on Wikipedia. It turns out their former staff. From there, I clicked again the name of the Father, all complete. From the Father of the college where, the parents of the Father who, the company of the family of the Father whatever, up to who the last girl who the Father again decetin. Who the hell is that, anyway,? Leticia yes,” Daniar opens his phone and shows his app on Gala.

Gala until cursed in the heart. That's how Daniar found it?

His profile on the platform is completely complete and clear. Even his favorite coffee was written there. It's only fitting that Hendra knows exactly.

He desperately tried to avoid the media back then. But the band was too famous and had toured America several times.

But apparently, getting out of the band is not a solution that closes everything. She is already wet in the Australian entertainment world. And perhaps, his return here was the most appropriate solution.

His passion in music is still strong, but being in management does not mean he has to let go of all that. In addition, the company he leads is indeed a company that is attached to his world as well, right?

“It turns out that easy you get,” said Hendra who seemed to start responding casually. They even laughed at the many things Gala did as long as she pretended to be a high school graduate.

But suddenly Hendra stopped laughing. He knew exactly that Gala would not immediately let them go.

Especially after he knew that the four of them also enjoyed the results of corruption in the procurement division which was indeed a wet field for people who cheated.

“I know, Mr. Hendra again thought what..” said Gala while spending all the noodles in his bowl. “I hold your ace cards four.”

Suddenly everyone became tense. Fortunately, they all finished eating. Gio looked so deathly pale that he re-ordered the cold mineral water he had spent less than a minute.

“Casual Bang Gio.. I'm not evil..”.

“Then, what do you want from us?” ask the curious Gio.

“Simpel... So eyes for me when I can't see, so ears for me when I can't hear, especially Mr. Hendra.”

Hearing that, Hendra nodded obediently. He knew why he was the most highlighted right now. Who else is close to the COO and CFO personally if not him?

Of course Hendra immediately knew who he had to side with.

“Nervous?” gala asked Gemma who was still sitting with a restless face beside her.

“This is your car AC damaged times,” said Gemma who wagged her hand on her face.

When Gala said that she was going to take him away to meet her family, Gemma became uncertain of direction. He seemed enthusiastic, intermittently he looked ordinary. In contrast to this moment, he seemed so misbehaved.

“No, nice car like this, just bought anyway, time instantly broken?” Gala shook her head and laughed softly. He bit his lower lip with anxiety at the different behavior of Gemma when he was with him.

Gemma has opened up, not cold as before. Gala has begun to be able to see how the original attitude of Gemma that turned out to be quite relaxed.

“If your family doesn't like me how? In any case, I am still his legal wife mas Indra.

“Gem... I bring you here not to be introduced as a future wife... Tapii... Yes if they think so, yes already, all of you!” Gala raised her eyebrows in a very annoying way.

Upset, Gemma landed her deadly pinch on Gala's thigh until the man complained.

“You ih!” Gemma pouted.

“Do not pinch-cubit... If I pinch back, it must be addictive!”

Gemma instantly crossed her hands in front of her chest. “Awas with macem-macem!”

The man chuckled. “Come, we go inside first, you will hear everything from Kak Mona and Om Paul.”

At first, Paul did not smile at all, even with Gemma who kept her head down and gave a flat look.

Gala knew she didn't dare look at Bobby Aditya's cloned old man at all. Only Mona looks more welcome. Besides indeed because it used to meet often, Mona is indeed a more easy going person.

“You are sure that you have never received any funds from Indra?” asked Paul so fiercely.

“I'm not saying that I don't accept it at all, Om. As a housewife, I receive monthly money from my husband. Enough for our needs.

I rarely shop for myself, or hold more money. So I do not know whether the monthly money is from Mas Indra salary or from illegal money.”

Paul suddenly puts a document containing a newspaper account on the table in the name of Gemma Aruna Francius. “It's not got you?”

Gemma was stunned to see such an obvious account in her name. “Ta-but.. I feel like I never opened an account in this bank, Om!”

“Of course.. The one who created this account is your own husband..He paid someone who looks like you, and had that person fake your signature."

“What? How can you?”

While Gemma was busy digesting Paul's explanation, Gala looked tense and her hands clenched firmly. He was so emotional when he found out that Indra was using Gemma without his knowledge to keep the flow of illicit funds that they corrupt together from the Aditya family-owned company.

Now Gemma is sitting lethargic in her chair, looking very defeated and tired of the behavior of the husband. He wasn't afraid of the law enforcement, because he knew Gala wouldn't let that happen. But that sense of betrayal over and over again was what made him unable to control his current facial expression.

Gala clasped Gemma's hand, stroking it to give her some calm. "It's okay, I got you, Gem..." The woman just nodded and nodded.

Gala spoke again. “In this week there was a disbursement of funds from PO for the purchase of computer units in November last year. Great value, purchased from CV. North Jaya Computers with a total of 45 billion for 3 provinces at once. And if there are no obstacles, 70 billion that I told you about the other day, will also be liquid in the near future.”

“You know this info from where?” asked Mona raising her face.

“That's it.. Trusted sources, office people too.” Gala only smiled faintly as she recalled her encounter with Hendra and the comrades a few days ago to the point that Felix had to come. Gala recounted their meeting in front of everyone.

Felix then added. “We have already lost who owns the CV. North Indah Computer and PT. Indah Jaya Konstruksi, the CEOs are Dimas Hanggara and Agus Hanggara, the siblings of Bambang Hanggara.”

Completely, everyone can guess what kind of corruption that one family did on Rapidash Express.

“Eh, means get caught dong your identity,” said Mona staring at Gala demanding an explanation.

“I hold their secrets, Brother.”

“But if they betray how?” asked Paul who was also no less doubt when the identity of Gala was finally revealed.

“They are really stupid to side with Om Bambang..” yes indeed. Aditya's family is much richer than Bambang's. Only a fool would take the side of a corrupt. If the company alone could he betray, what about ordinary people? “So gini..Now, I have a plan..” said Gala.

“What is it?”

“Just follow me. Later, Mona and Om Paul are waiting for me when the investigation team can move. I'll do something before the show starts.”

“Care to tell me what are you going to do?” ask Paul who is not sure.

“I..”
